Consistency, managing momentum. These are two themes Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella has touched upon frequently throughout this season.

“We still don’t have that strut when we’re struggling, or a team is coming back on us. We still get nervous,” Tortorella said. “I don’t think we’re there yet because we haven’t been consistent enough with the results.”

So, we wanted to take a look at some activities that can be considered “momentum changers” and see how they present themselves in relation to game outcomes for the Jackets this year to see whether there really is a difference in what is a perceived “momentum changer” and how the Jackets end up after 60 minutes of play.

Please note this data didn’t undergo the scientific rigor necessary to say definitively there is a significant relationship — either causation or correlation — between these behaviors and whether the Jackets win or lose. Rather, this is meant to be a reflection of what’s happened in Jackets games this season. ‌‌‌
